* "... a perfect act of Contrition - this is when a person regrets his/her sins not because of a fear of God's punishment, but out of pain of having offended, aggrieved our loving Lord. Such a Perfect Act of Contrition can allow a person to receive Holy Communion provided that the person truly intends to change his/her life and will go to Confession at the earliest opportunity" (Letter on Covid-19 by His Beatitude Sviatoslav 24 March 2020).
